Yes! Infant massage classes are available in person in Sorrento Valley and virtually throughout California. In-person classes offer the opportunity to learn together in a supportive setting, while virtual classes allow you to participate from the comfort of your own home.
-
Infant massage classes are best suited for newborns through pre-crawling babies. Many parents begin in the early months, but the most important thing is that your baby is ready for gentle touch and interaction.
-
That’s completely normal! We always follow your baby’s cues. If your baby needs to sleep, feed, take a break, or have a diaper change, we’ll adjust. There is no pressure for your baby to complete every technique.
-
Absolutely! Infant massage is a wonderful way for both parents and caregivers to connect with their baby. During class, we recommend that only one person massage the baby at a time to avoid overstimulation. Partners are welcome to take turns learning and practicing the techniques.
-
You’ll want a comfortable space for you and your baby, a soft blanket or yoga mat, a small towel, extra diapers and wipes, and your chosen massage oil after completing a patch test.
I recommend using a cold-pressed, unscented vegetable oil, such as grapeseed or fractionated coconut oil. A patch test should be completed on the heel at least 24 hours before using the oil during class.
-
Not at all. This class is designed for beginners. You’ll learn simple, gentle techniques step-by-step and gain the confidence to continue practicing with your baby at home.

THERAPY FOR PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM
You expected this season to feel different, but instead, you're exhausted and overwhelmed. If you're navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or birth trauma, you don't have to carry it alone.
THERAPY FOR ANXIETY
Your mind never seems to turn off—you replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and feel responsible for keeping everything together. Together, we'll help you quiet the overthinking, ease the pressure, and feel more grounded and confident.
MINDFULNESS THERAPY
When your mind is constantly racing, it's easy to get stuck in self-criticism, worry, and overwhelm. Mindfulness helps you slow down, respond with intention instead of reacting, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
MULTICULTURAL & BIPOC THERAPY
You shouldn't have to explain or minimize the parts of your identity that shape your experience. Together, we'll honor your cultural background, lived experiences, and values while creating space for healing that feels authentic to you.
